The experimental data on b → cτν and b → sl+l− transitions exhibit sizeable discrepancies with the Standard Model expectations, suggesting possible violations of lepton universality. We present an overview of the present status and discuss possible interpretations within a model-independent effective Lagrangian approach. We also briefly elaborate on some other claimed flavour anomalies such as the sizeable violation of unitarity that has recently emerged in the first row of the CKM matrix, the large CP asymmetry observed in D0 decays, or the K0 → ππ direct CP- violating ratio εK′ /εK.
